Learn how to defend your base and establish kill zones in Total Annihilation's Bromid Maze map. Master Brawler packs and defensive structures to defeat CORE forces.

Alright, let's tackle the Bromid Maze! This map is a fantastic spot to really lock down your defenses and make the enemy think twice about coming at you. Keep those Zippers you start with in the upper left corner; moving them seems to invite an unwelcome airstrike. The key here is establishing effective kill zones.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Focus on building Defenders. They're your bread and butter for both air and ground defense, and this map's layout is perfect for it. You'll only need two main defensive setups because you can position your base to funnel enemies through just two entrances.
  2. 2
    Get an advanced construction plant up and running ASAP. This lets you build advanced construction units, which are crucial for replacing your standard metal extractors with more efficient Mohole Mines. Grab the ones in the southern part of the map. Don't overextend your expansion north; once you're on Mohole Mines, your metal income will be plenty.
  3. 3
    You'll need a lot of solar collectors since you can't build fusion reactors or geothermal plants here. Use your construction aircraft to build Defenders on top of those ridges where your ground bots can't reach.
  4. 4
    This map is your first real chance to see the Brawler unit shine. Build about 7 or 8 of them and start hunting those red dots on the map. For even better results, set a patrol point right in the middle of a cluster of enemy blips. The Brawlers will tear through most threats.
  5. 5
    If you encounter any enemy defensive structures, like the Punisher and Gaat Guns the CORE likes to use, prioritize taking them out with your Brawlers.
  6. 6
    Keep an eye on your Brawlers' health. If they start taking damage, send them back to base. It's a good idea to have a construction aircraft on patrol in your base's main areas. You can land the damaged Brawlers there, and they'll get repaired automatically.
  7. 7
    With solid defenses and your Brawler pack, you should handle the CORE forces without much issue. If you see a large enemy group heading your way, intercept them with your Brawlers and see how they perform against ground assaults.
Tips
  • Don't expand too far north too early. Focus on securing the southern metal income and upgrading to Mohole Mines.
  • Utilize the terrain! Building defenses on high ground with construction aircraft is a game-changer.
  • Keep your Brawlers healthy. A damaged Brawler is a less effective Brawler. Use those construction aircraft for quick repairs.
  • Establish patrol routes for your Brawlers to catch enemy advances before they reach your main base.
